Violence
against women and girls is rising rapidly across Asia. According to a
2013
study by the World Health Organization, nearly 38% of women in South
and
South-East Asia have experienced some form of physical and/or sexual
violence. In
Bangladesh, more than half
the women will experience physical and/or sexual violence at the hands
of their
partners during their lifetime.
This
takes a huge toll, and it is fracturing families and communities and
stalling
development across the region. Despite
considerable progress in many countries to establish policies and
programs to
end violence, implementation has been slow. This gap is largely the
result of
deeply entrenched cultural values, attitudes and practices that are
rooted in
gender stereotypes and perpetuate exploitation, discrimination and
violence
against women and girls. There is compelling evidence that the most
effective
counter-strategies will engage a broad range of social actors, as well
as
institutional and political leaders, with a view to reducing the social
acceptance of violence.
This new flagship global program for Oxfam Canada, called “Creating Spaces”, aims to reduce violence against women and girls through coordinated prevention and response initiatives in Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan and the Philippines. The total budget is $20M, including a $15M contribution from the Government of Canada and $5M from Oxfam. In the next 5 years 2016-2021 we will work with 18 local partner organizations, including women’s rights organizations, in each of the six countries to prevent violence by changing local norms and laws, responding to violence by providing women and girl survivors with services and economic opportunities, and strengthening collective efforts and learning across the region. The program will directly reach 245,000 women and girls across the six countries, have three main components:
• mobilize community leaders and young people to advance the rights of women and girls, and to challenge and change local laws and norms that that help to perpetuate violence;
• empower women and girls affected by violence by providing access to support services and economic opportunities that allow them to thrive free of violence; and,
• strengthen networks and build strategic alliances of civil society organizations across the regional working to end violence and advance the rights of women and girls.
